Grand Rapids Micro Local Business Enterprise (MLBE) Bonding Program Pilot

Thank you for your interest in participating in the MLBE Bonding Pilot Program with the City of Grand Rapids. This initiative is part of the City’s ongoing efforts to support Micro Local Business Enterprises (MLBEs) by providing resources that help businesses secure bonding and compete for larger contracts.
 
The MLBE Bonding Pilot is designed for qualifying businesses that are independently owned and operated, actively bidding on projects that require bonding, and looking to strengthen their financial and operational capacity. Through this program, participating businesses will receive technical assistance, including subsidized accounting and legal support, as well as potential financial assistance for bonding costs through private-sector partnerships.
 
Please complete the application thoroughly and provide all required documentation. If you have any questions or need assistance, our team is here to guide you through the process. We look forward to supporting your business in accessing new opportunities and strengthening its ability to secure future contracts.
